[Commemorating Hannah Arendt — December 4, 1975]

Hannah Arendt Center presents:

Commemorating Hannah Arendt — December 4, 1975

Fifty Years Later 

Thursday, December 4, 2025
Arendt Center
3:30 pm – 5:30 pm

This event occurs on:  Thu. December 4, 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm

December 4, 2025, marks fifty years since the passing of Hannah Arendt. Though many of us never had the privilege of knowing her, we continue to feel her presence—and her absence—deeply. Her ideas still spark conversations around the world, reminding us of the power of thinking together. To honor her memory, we invite you to join us for a guided walk to her grave. There, we will share stories that have been lovingly passed down, and recite the Kaddish—the traditional Jewish prayer of mourning—or any other words of remembrance you wish to offer. Following the visit, we’ll gather for Kaffee und Kuchen (coffee and pastries) at the Hannah Arendt Center.

Meeting Point: Hannah Arendt Center (we will depart promptly at 3:30 to ensure we return before dark)

Kindly RSVP via email to Jana Mader at [email protected] by Friday, November 28th.
